• Obituary*: "ALICE SEXTON HUNT
     "MT. PLEASANT LOSES ONE OF ITS FINEST TYPES OF WOMANHOOD.
     "Passed Away this Morning from Chronic Heart Trouble. Leaves Husband and Seven Children. Mt. Pleasant Shocked.
     "Mt. Pleasant was shocked beyond expression today to learn that Alice Sexton Hunt, wife of Dr. J. P. Hunt, had at the early hour of three o’clock this morning passed, quite unexpectedly, away at her home, 309 East Madison St. Valvular trouble of the heart of long standing brought about the tragic end of this splendid woman.
     "For a number of years Mrs. Hunt has suffered more or less from her heart, although she has always looked in perfect health.
     "About the first of the year the trouble became more aggregated until last Saturday afternoon Mrs. Hunt was obliged to go to bed and a physician was called. Nothing serious was expected, however. This morning about three o’clock she was seized with an acute attack and arose from her bed to go to a rocker, hoping that sitting up might afford her some relief. However, she was no sooner in the chair than she collapsed and death followed immediately.
     "Mrs. Hunt was a lovely woman and a lovely character. All who knew her or knew of her held her in the greatest admiration as a wife and mother and as a womanly woman. The announcement of her untimely death was followed by expressions of the deepest regret and genuine sorrow over our entire community. The loss to the family will be irreparable.
     "Mrs. Hunt leaves to mourn her a husband and seven children, Arthur in the army in France; Paul in the army at Camp Dodge; Ethel at Cedar Falls and Anna, Alice, Maynard and Walter at home.
     "The funeral will be held at the home Wednesday forenoon, the hour to be announced later."¹¹
